..........Sonshine..........

There'll come a morning when with the Lord forever I'll abide,
There among the faithful and true I'll take my place at His side;
     There no trouble or care
     Will be found anywhere
     But forever I'll share
In His Blessings and of not one good thing will I be denied!

          Here I dwell in the shadows,
          Never clearly do I see;
          There I'll bask in the "Sonshine"
          And be from shadows set free!

Someday I'll cross over Jordan and land on deaths' chilly shore,
Having quit the paths of men, you'll see me in this world no more;
     Then I'll dwell in that land
     On the far away strand
     And then I'll understand
All of the secrets of this life that eluded me before.

          Here I dwell in the shadows,
          Never clearly do I see;
          There I'll basque in the "Sonshine"
          And be from shadows set free!

No more will I wander and struggle with temptation and sin,
Nor will I want for the things that occupy the lusts of men;
     My needs He will supply,
     In that fair land on high,
     For up there, none will die...
Come that resurrection morning the Crown of Life I will win!

          Here I dwell in the shadows,
          Never clearly do I see;
          There I'll bask in the "Sonshine"
          And be from shadows set free!
